Meshuggah will be releasing a new album, titled “Immutable,” on April 1.
Meshuggah have announced a U.S. tour with Converge and Torche.
Meshuggah have entered Sweetspot Studios in Sweden to begin the recording process for their new album
Meshuggah and Soilwork have received Best Of compilations from Nuclear Blast USA. All Shall Perish, Epica, Scar Symmetry, and Eluveitie are also featured.
Today’s feature of “5 Albums That Influenced Me” comes from Sworn In. The band will release their debut record, The Death Card which will be out on August 20th.
Tyler Dennen (Vocals)
Thrice (Beggars): One of my all time favorite CDs, every single part flows together perfectly and is seamless to listen to.
Panic! At the Disco (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out): It’s a record that you can sing from start to finish and know every line. I love that.
My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge): Probably my all time favorite CD, it really just flawless in my opinion, and the song structure and lyric structure influence me a lot
Linkin Park (Meteora): Another CD from my childhood, the way that that band makes you feel emotionally just from the way it sounds is something I’ve always wanted to do
From First To Last (Heroine): This CD is the most disturbing cd to listen to in my opinion, It makes me feel insane and uneasy, which is what I wanted to Death Card to feel like too
Zakary Gibson (Guitar)
The Mars Volta (De-Loused In The Comatorium):
The perfect CD, every instrument works together perfectly to create huge hard hitting sections along with beautiful chorus’, the lyrics are amazing and all of the atmospheric textures makes it a trip to listen to. Basically everything good about music in one CD.
Deftones (Around The Fur):
Perfect all the way through (just like every other Deftones album), Stef’s guitar work is simply amazing, creating such hard hitting melodies while being the only guitarist is something I always try to accomplish when writing.
Glassjaw (Coloring Book):
This album speaks for itself, the best release by Glassjaw yet, it’s the perfect mold of melody, technicality, and just overall weird.
Coldplay (Parachutes):
An album I still listen to daily, the guitar work is fantastic and most of the songs on this album have a super dark vibe which I really really love.
Meshuggah (Catch 33):
A CD that’s essentially just one amazing riff over and over again, yet they still find a way to make it interesting, that’s true musicianship. Everything Meshuggah does is gold, but this is on top.
Chris George (Drums)
Klaus Nomi - Simple Man: The most amazing performer to live.
As Tall As Lions - (Self Titled): If there was a band that was an exact depiction of everything I love about music this is it. This band’s music takes you elsewhere and is a trip in itself.
Minus The Bear - Infinity Overhead: My favorite band throughout high school. This record was as if they captured the best elements of every single album they put out and put it all in one record. Another band that’s a depiction of everything right in music.
Slipknot - (self titled): A million fucking years ahead of its time. All the “heavy” bands now need to listen to this and realize low tuning and the “1-0” chord doesn’t make you heavy.
Meshuggah - all albums: I couldn’t choose one album because every single album is so vividly different and insane in it’s own way. This is another band that was years ahead of their time and knows how to make legitimate heavy music that a whole stadium could bang their heads to but musicians could spend hours trying to comprehend. Definitely my all time favorite metal band.
Upon A Red Sky vocalist Chris Breetzi has picked out his Top Five recently discovered records. You can view them below
#1 Apostate - Seabourne
Apostate - I love you. Really, I can’t live without this record anymore. When I spent my holiday in Barcelona I listened to this album about 20 times a day on average, and it never lost it’s bombastic effect. Proggy. Melodic. Great Breakdowns. Great voice. Melodic. Melodic. Wait, did I mention it’s melodic? If Apostate would be a potato it would be a really fucking delicious potato. LISTEN TO THIS RECORD NOW.
#2 Painted In Exile - Revitalized
Say what you want, but the rather unknown PIE are my BTBAM. I don’t like BTBAM that much, because their vocalist is too monotonous for me. PIE delivers excellent melodic riffs, a great songwriting and - my cherry on the top - one of the best vocalists I know. He is really great in screaming AND growling and has one of the most unique clean voices in metal. You have to listen to this band, it’s a pleasure for the ears.
#3 Periphery - Periphery
With slight advantage of Tesseract due to the better songwriting, Periphery makes the race for place three. They are in most aspects like Tesseract but a a little bit heavier. The clean voice here is again as great as Tesseract’s. Brilliant.
#4 Tesseract - One
Tesseract is one of my favourite Bands right now. Every time I hear their stuff, I think about Muse jamming with Meshuggah. Tesseract has such an awesome groove in every song and the singer is just brilliant. Also they are alternating a lot between distorted and acoustic stuff - a great plus point for me. Listen to the song “Eden 2.0”.
#5 Ludovico Einaudi - Islands
The advantage of a spotify subscription is, that you discover random music. A masterpiece of random music is the album “Islands” from the pianist Ludovico Einaudi. He’s a master at writing sensual music that calms my mind. He also provided the soundtrack for the great movie “Intouchables”.
Sweden’s masters of extreme technical metal MESHUGGAH are pleased to announce their 2013 headlining return to North America with Animals As Leaders as direct support and Intronaut opening each evening.

Cult Chilean metal band UNDERCROFT are streaming 'Ruins of Gomorrah' in it’s entirety at No Clean Singing. The new album features the song “El Triunfo de La Muerte”, which saw a music video release earlier this year.
UNDERCROFT have released ‘Ruins of Gomorrah’ through Season of Mist. The album is available on CD, and a limited edition Double LP (with download card).
UNDERCROFT, featuring Alvaro Lillo (WATAIN), have come a long way since emerging from the underground in ‘93. Their reputation spread quickly through South America with their early albums and shows with KREATOR and MORBID ANGEL before the band relocated to Europe. Now they return with ‘Ruins of Gommorah’, their first new album in six years. The Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, BEHEMOTH, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) produced album is a burning attack of pure, old-school metal.
